, what powder will work best depends on your barrel-length and what you intend the round to do. In mid-range loads, I've had alot of luck with Unique(A little dirty but accurate powder) and AA-7. Unless you have a six-inch barrel I would stay away from slower-burning powders like 2400, 296, H110, AA-9 and such.
